Hüma Utku

Hüma Utku is a Turkish electronic producer and composer whose work weaves haunting soundscapes with cultural depth. Based in Berlin but rooted in Istanbul, she merges modular synths, field recordings, and traditional Turkish instrumentation to create music that feels both ancient and futuristic. Her releases—like the brooding *Şeb-i Yelda* (named after the Persian/Turkish winter solstice festival) or the cinematic *Gnosis*—blur ambient, industrial, and experimental techno, often exploring themes of mythology, memory, and emotional duality.

With a background in sound design and a knack for storytelling, Utku’s tracks (released on labels like Karlrecords and Subtext Recordings) feel like immersive journeys. From the shadowy textures of *Comfort Of The Shadows* to the rhythmic pulse of *Ayaz’a*, her work bridges Istanbul’s rich heritage and Berlin’s avant-garde electronic scene, earning praise for its emotional resonance and genre-defying creativity.
